Hi everyone. I was diagnosed in Aug '09 with Type 2. I have to admit, it scared the daylights out of me. The Dr says we caught it early…my A1c was 6.8. I have since lost 12 lbs by following the weight watcher program, being careful of carbs etc. I am not on medication but have just started testing. That seems to be going well. I had a higher reading yesterday morning and figured out it was the ww ice cream I ate the night before. So last night I just had yogurt. Better number this morning. I have read many many discussions on here and there is so much information. I thank you all for your honesty, your help and your support. Suzy

If you got it you where always going to get it you may have helped the proses but thats all.It is hard to deal with this,Dont blame your self
dropping the lbs will help. but as fare as I have sean will not fix it
I wish you the best of luck

SuzyAttendorn September 29, 2009 at 8:36 am0 LikesLOL thanks. I guess it is just that it scared me. I am the first in my family to have diabetes. I know that my weight is a major factor. I also have fibromyalgia with a lot of depression, so my sedentary lifestyle is a contributor to this. I needed a kick in the pants, and this sure gave it to me!
